I'll leave the horse to rest in peace as it's obvious what The Harvest and Lord Tony stand for. What I wanted to do was make an observation about this topic rather. I got kind of consumed in it and went through the 22 posts in one go and I detected a pattern.
Damage control usually consists of trying to mitigate the accusations made against you and save face. I think that Lord Tony has invented an admittedly brilliant damage control method that has full deniability and is extremely obscure. This entire thread consists of people trying to bring points up against the harvest members, but the argument never gets anywhere, it simply runs in circles. In a tag-team esque setting, the members tap each other out, drowning out valid points and banking on the easy targets that are easily ticked off. Once the diversion is set, the people who can argue worth a damn are once again in the mud wrestling through the loopy obscure point the ticked off person was making. This theory aligns up well with the bait-and-switch tactic that was brought up before. In my opinion, that hit right on the nail, but not soon after the thread was stuck in yet another obscure loop about someone else.
